We caught a ferry to Goree' island. This is a quiet, peaceful, small island with no cars or motorbikes. It is beautiful, like being on a Greek island in the Mediterannean, blue water, sandy coloured buildings with flowers hanging over terraces and amongst the narrow cobbled alley ways. About 1500 people live on the island. The island was once used for slave and goods trading in the 17th and 18th century and school groups and tourists visit the island due the rich history and museums. The island also has a strong arts focus with local made craft and creative artists producing colourful oil paintings.
